Mwanalima Jereko helps us give Temwa Chawinga her flowers, plus the BOS Nation FC launch fiasco
Manage episode 445569903 series 2715882
On one of the most jam-packed Full Time podcasts ever, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan unpack the astonishing team name launch of the Boston-based BOS Nation FC, the NWSL's 15th expansion club.
What was behind the now redacted 'Too Many Balls' marketing campaign? Who are the owners trying to appeal to? How will Boston look to make amends after hurting its fanbase, and current players in the league, during a tumultuous 48 hours?
Adding a vital on-the-ground perspective, Steph Yang also joined the podcast fresh from attending the BOS Nation launch event, where she spoke to the Boston Unity Soccer Partners ownership group as well as local fan groups.
Later on it's time to give Temwa Chawinga her flowers. Tamerra sat down for an enchanting interview with the record-breaking woman of the moment and fellow KC Current teammate Mwanalima Jereko. Last week, Chawinga scored her 19th goal of the 2024 season, breaking Sam Kerr's record of 18 in a single NWSL season.
The two African-born players talked about their chosen family sisterhood as teammates, their favorite foods that African fans bring for them after matches, the secrets behind their joyous goal celebrations, and what the real Chawinga is like off the pitch.
All of that, plus San Diego Wave and the NWSL are being sued by five former Wave employees, and our feelings on Merritt Mathias' retirement.
